Cloud and systems integration

What it is

Making systems that were never designed to talk to each other exchange data reliably, and building the cloud services that sit between them.

Most organisations do not have one system; they have eight, bought at different times, and the cost of running them is dominated by the gaps between them.

Typical requirements we are asked about

• Two systems that both hold the same data, kept in step by someone re-keying it
• A finance, HR, CRM or line-of-business platform that needs to exchange data with a bespoke system
• An API that has to be published to partners or to another supplier
• Infrastructure that has grown without a plan and now costs more than it should

What Astri Devs delivers

• API design with documented contracts, versioning and error behaviour defined up front
• Integrations built to fail safely: retries, idempotency, dead-letter handling and alerting
• Cloud infrastructure defined as code, so environments can be rebuilt rather than remembered
• Data mapping and transformation with the edge cases written down rather than discovered later
• Monitoring that tells an operator what broke, not only that something did

Typical outputs

• Documented APIs with a published specification
• Infrastructure-as-code definitions and deployment pipelines
• Integration runbooks covering failure and recovery
• A written view of what data moves where, which is normally also what a data protection assessment needs

Engagement approach

Often a short discovery phase to establish what the existing systems actually do, followed by fixed-scope delivery. Integration work benefits from access to a representative test environment early.
